Baidu face recognition technology to achieve the first success of finding relatives

With Baidu's AI platform, Fu Gui, who was abducted when he was 6 years old, succeeded in finding his loved ones after 27 years of losing his job.

When a yellow old photo meets a cutting-edge technology, the call from the blood relatives may really impress God. Recently, Baidu announced that the use of artificial intelligence face recognition technology has successfully confirmed the first case of missing children, parents and children dna match has been successful and has been recognized.

Lost 27 years to pay your return home

Fu Gui, born in Chongqing on November 16, 1984, was lost in Daxue Town, Shizhu County, Chongqing on October 16, 1990, and was abducted to Fujian Province for 27 years and is now 33 years old.

For 27 years, looking for Fugui is his father Fu Guangyou and his family never stopped things, but the good news has yet to appear. In fact, Fugui is also looking for biological parents. In September 2009, Fu Gui registered his trafficked information on the "Baby Pursuit" section of the homepage of the baby's home website, registering the name of "Hu Kui", was born in 1986 and disappeared on January 1, 1991, missing Location is located in Fujian.

In the case of both dna has not yet warehousing, inconsistency in registration information for the treasure to go home looking for workers brought a lot of resistance.

This year in March, Baidu and the baby go home, the artificial intelligence of the cross-age face recognition technology used to find lost children, more than 60,000 tracking image data access Baidu cross-age face recognition system for comparison and evaluation, through Compare the pictures uploaded by the parents with their parents, and initially screen out 30 suspected cases, paying for them.

"When we first saw the expensive information provided by Baidu team, we should think that this should be done. In addition to the photo image, there is one name, and Fukui and Hu Kui are very close to each other." Baby home staff said. April 1, pay your parents and dna than the success of the comparison. After being abducted 27 years later, Fu Gui finally succeeded in finding a relative and became the first successful case of finding a relative by using Baidu's AI platform.

Artificial intelligence to "the world without a turn"

During the "two sessions" in 2017, one of the proposals of the CPPCC National Committee, Chairman and CEO of Baidu Company, Li Yanhong, was to "use artificial intelligence to solve the problem of children's loss." Li Yanhong suggested that the General Office of the State Council take the lead in coordinating with the Ministry of Public Security and Civil Affairs Ministries and commissions, and other ministerial conferences on trafficking and trafficking of women and children, and make overall plans for enterprises and social forces. By using such technologies as big data and artificial intelligence technologies such as face recognition, the detection efficiency and detection rate of children's missing cases can be further enhanced.

In fact, the problem of loss of children concerns the safety and well-being of every family. Although abduction and trafficking of children in our country have shown a tendency of "low development and high breakthrough", there are still cases that are hard to detect due to lack of clues.

"Baby go home" as a private website, tracing mainly rely on manual operation, tracing process is very slow. Zhang Baoyan, the founder of Baby Home, said: "We also hope that through the help of Baidu AI and big data, we will find a quick way to find a job, which is in line with the current situation in science and technology development as well as the advancement of artificial intelligence and big data technologies Practicality. "She pointed out that" Baidu artificial intelligence to help crack down the implementation of this project plan will give the country a strong technical support for crackdowns, but also a new breakthrough in trafficking measures, we believe that the involvement of a strong Baidu team, for many Trafficking in children families, will allow them to take a lot less detours in the road to seek relatives, more trafficked children will be reunited with their families as soon as possible.

Artificial intelligence application practices social responsibility

The concept of artificial intelligence is gaining popularity, but more people on the understanding of artificial intelligence or alphago, "man-machine war." Lin Yuanqing, president of Baidu Research Institute, said: "There are so many areas of artificial intelligence that there are more than a thousand artificial intelligence in Baidu. When we pick these directions, we will pick some directions that we find very meaningful, such as faces Recognition. "

In the "Strongest Brain" broadcast on a few days ago, Baidu's Little Robot successfully identified the corresponding children through its parents' photos and won the fourth season of "Brain King", which is the first time that "Strongest Brain" has awarded the highest honor to non-human beings Player

Lin Yuanqing said that there are many factors affecting face recognition, cross-age face recognition more difficult. To this end, Baidu Institute for Advanced Study adopts the method of measurement learning, and uses the model trained by large-scale face data as a base, and then updates him with cross-age data. Baidu face test set with 2 million people 200 million pictures as training sample data. Lin Yuanqing revealed that Baidu has also cooperated with the Ministry of Public Security now, hoping to help more children who have lost their homes to return home soon.

In the field of artificial intelligence, face recognition technology or will become one of the future trends in artificial intelligence. At present, face recognition has been applied in some industries, such as immigration border check in the field of public security, criminal investigation, airports, train stations, bus stations and other scenes in the field of transportation, face attendance in education industry, management of dormitory access, kindergarten Shuttle and so on. With the further development of artificial intelligence, face recognition has great potential as a human and intelligent connection portal.
